On May 3, in a brand new interview with the Q104.3 radio station, Chad Smith, the drummer of the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, confirmed that the band is making a new album.

The album is follow-up to the latest and eleventh “The Getaway.”

“There’s a gag order on me,” Chad said. “I do so many Zooms, and they’re, like, ‘Why’d you say that?’ I can say this: we’re making a record, we’re making new music, and it’s very exciting.”

Later, he continued by touching on the release date of the album: “I don’t know when it’s coming out, but we can’t wait for people to hear it, and we can’t wait to perform for people,” he said. “Just like everybody else that really misses that experience.”
